    "content": "It is safe to say that when your Committee meets next time and the CS for Environment and National Resources fails to appear as you said on the authority of letters of invitation, you can resolve to have her summoned and indeed,if need be, let her give a testimony on oath. There is nobody who should feel busier than the rest. The Committee has too much work as is evident from these reports. It is not fair that a CS fails to appear because the people petitioning expect responses from Parliament. Therefore, when Cabinet Secretaries fail to appear, they make Parliament look bad. When you meet and if the CS fails to appear as you have said, just make a resolution that she be summoned. The House Business Committee (HBC) is also directed to ensure that there are very many reports from that Committee. The Reports come up as a result of Petitions from residents in various parts of the country. We cannot keep them without debating them. The HBC, the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party, take note of the need to prioritize those Reports especially knowing the position of land matters in this country. It is only fair that those Reports are prioritized. The whips should ensure that that is done. Before we move on to the next Committee, let me take this opportunity to recognize MCAs from Bungoma County Assembly who are seated in the Speaker’s Gallery; students from AIC Sitoti Academy Primary School, Soy Constituency, Uasin Gishu County; students from Jerusalem Academy Primary School, West Pokot County and students from St. Marys Day Mixed Primary School, Chepalungu Constituency, Bomet County. They are all welcome to observe the proceedings of the National Assembly. Finally, can we get a Report from the Committee on Delegated Legislation? The Chairperson is not present. I may have noticed unusually that the Vice Chairman is present. You can see Hon. Kabando is raising his hand and it extends above Hon. Gitari’s head. Yes, Hon. Gitari."
